1998 Sonic Adventure The First true 3d Sonic title, Dreamcast owners were blown away by the intense speed and graphical bonanza contained with-in this game. SA was released three times in all. 1st edition in Japan, 2nd in the US and the 3rd, Sonic Adventure International was released worldwide. Players were able to play through the game with multiple characters and a virtual pet Chao was introduced which could be transferred to a VMU. 2001 saw Sonic Adventure DX released for the Game Cube: a port of the original which included new missions, 12 unlockable Game Gear games (Finally Game Gear games on our TV!!) and the ability to transfer a Chao to the GBA; surprisingly, the GC port was poor, the DC version is still king.

2000 Sonic ShuffleA Mario Party clone, Sonic Shuffle attempted the "roll the dice /move around the board/battle in a mini-game/collect the most items and win" formula.....but ultimately didn't come through in the fun department. The cel-shaded characters looked nice and the amount of playable characters are impressive (Sonic, Amy, Knuckles - Unlockables=Big the Cat,E-102 Gamma, Super Sonic and Chao) but the mini-games weren't much fun and the pace of the game moved slower than a snail.

2001 Sonic Adventure 2 Bigger and better than before, SA2 said "see ya!" to the exploration portion of the original and stuck to speed, shooting, and hunting for emeralds. The Chao mode was back. SA2 was also the first game to introduce Hero and dark sides to play with i.e. Shadow the Hedgehog and Eggman. In 2004, SA2 was ported to the Game Cube as Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, with an "enhanced" Chao mode and extra multi-player modes.
